Tile Week 2011, Day 3: Concrete Tiles That Look and Feel As Smooth as Silk

Earlier this week, we showed you some concrete tiles for those consumers with a traditionalist bent, but Portland Cement Co. satisfies the other end of the spectrum—modernists and those who aren’t afraid to mix it up. The Oregon outfit is no large manufacturer churning out bland mediocre products. Instead, it uses a small-batch, cast-to-order process that yields tiles that have a handmade look and feel. The company offers flat and textured products in a variety of shapes and a variety of sizes for wall and floor. www.portlandcementco.com.
